The Trump administration has invited all 100 U.S. senators to a briefing at the White House on Wednesday to discuss the situation in North Korea.
The briefing will be given by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, Director of
National Intelligence Dan Coats and General Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Congressional aides suggested the briefing was being held at the White House to underscore the message to North Korea that Washington is serious about wanting a change to the status quo.
Meanwhile, North Korea has reportedly staged a massive live fire-drill to commemorate the 85th anniversary of the founding of its military.
This as tensions in the region continue to escalate following the docking of a U.S. submarine in South Korea. The show of force comes amid rising fears over Pyongyang's nuclear program.
